Tweet Has there ever been any positive, upbeat music made that referenced needles? I mean, the first track that springs to mind is Nine Inch Nails ' "Hurt" , after all. Hardly uplifting. The closest I've managed is Rammstein 's "Rein Raus" , which features the sumptuous piece of imagery, "Ein Elefant im Nadelohr" - "An elephant in the eye of a needle". Yes, that would be a charming sex reference; no, I'm not convinced that counts as positive or upbeat either. [...]

(My) Pop Music: My 10 Most Played Albums of 2011 We've done this 'best of' 2011 thing to death. Seriously, just thinking about it gets me winded, at this point. Granted, I could probably be in better shape, but that's off-topic. [...]
This year in music has been quite impressive. While 2010 gave us clear-cut, stand alone winners, it was much harder to determine which album was Top Ten worthy, let alone the best of 2011. Most sites have published their lists already, and while many albums appear on the same lists, the top ten varies greatly from list to list. Don't expect us to be any different.

Alternative country/folk veterans Cowboy Junkies are well-versed in being low-key with high hopes. The tragically ignorant may only be marginally familiar with The Trinity Sessions in '88 or with a romantic cover of The Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane" (later a centerpiece on the soundtrack to Natural Born Killers ). Such an export from the Great White North almost makes us forgive Canada for Nickelback. Almost. (more...)
Over the Rhine has come a long way since the days where they'd play intimate, candlelit shows at Stache's . These days, some 20+ years after OTR's core members Karin Bergquist (vocals, guitars) and Linford Detweiler (multi-instrumentalist) first put the band together (and 15 years since the duo married), Over the Rhine is more suited for large stages such as the one at Lincoln Theatre where they'll be performing on Wednesday night. Earlier this year, Over the Rhine released the Joe Henry [...]

Cowboy Junkies - Michael Timmins describes the jammy, rough-edged new Junkies album as "the psychedelic, blues-inspired forays we are so fond of exploring on stage", the mesmerizing, low-keyed alt-folk of what most would consider the outfits' signature sound tossed out in exchange for a gritty power trio kick, or as Timmins puts it: "overdriven and thick with electricity"...the third of four releases in the band's 18-month Nomad Series of new albums // Release : Sing In My Meadow (October 18, Latent) // Sounds like : the dark melancholy that has [...]

A complete history of "Space Lord" by Monster Magnet, the shining light in a relatively obscure discography from a group of hard rockers from New Jersey.
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Chris Buck Some bands might be bothered by jumping through censorship hoops in order to get the go ahead to perform at a festival, but Cowboy Junkies guitarist Michael Timmins isn't one of them. The Canadian musician was relatively unconcerned to see his band listed as " Cowboy Fan " on paperwork associated with their recent performance at KAMA Love Music Festival in Beijing. [...]
